letter from<br />

the editor<br />

Welcome to another perfect issue of <strong>teenLook</strong>! I truly hope you all enjoy<br />

this one. We always get so many amazing submissions to the publication.<br />

I am proud to feature everyone that contributes to making this<br />

magazine possible.<br />

Switching to a bi-monthly publication has nothing to do with my passion for the<br />

magazine. It’s just about time and getting the rest I need between each issue to<br />

make it the best it can be for you guys.<br />

Dara and I had the honour to shoot with an upcoming star, <strong>Faith</strong> <strong>Noble</strong>. I have to<br />

admit setting out to ride the LRT here in Edmonton as the basis for the shoot left<br />

many questions as to the outcome, but thankfully the weather was great and we<br />

didn’t have any strange encounters along the way. The colours captured surprised<br />

me when I had the chance to upload and look at the photos. Shooting in<br />

low light and on a moving train can present it’s challenges, but just added to the<br />

fun. At the end of the day we all had smiles and could have kept shooting, but it<br />

was getting late. I look forward to see where <strong>Faith</strong>’s modelling journey takes her! I<br />

want to say a huge thank you to her family for making the long drive to Edmonton<br />

for this shoot. Crystal, <strong>Faith</strong>’s mom, is an amazing lady and was also a pleasure to<br />

hang out with.<br />

As with every issue I put out, I hope it encourages and inspires you to pursue your<br />

dreams and passions. Creating this magazine is definitely my passion and I look<br />

forward to all the submissions to start creating the next issue. We have some<br />

special stories and features lined up already. So, keep sending in your submissions<br />

and keep talking about the magazine. I know I don’t get out on social media<br />

enough to help spread the presence of <strong>teenLook</strong>. I need your help to let everyone<br />

know it’s here for them to be a part of.<br />

Take care everyday and never give up on your dreams. See you all in the next<br />

issue!<br />

Mr. G

Some other things she likes to do are watching<br />

movies and drawing. When she isn’t doing that<br />

Maddie’s favourite part about doing the voyager<br />

When I first found out that<br />

I had been chosen to be on<br />

the cover of Teen Look, I was<br />

SO excited! As a new model,<br />

this is easily the biggest<br />

opportunity that I have been<br />

given! I could hardly sleep<br />

for the days leading up to the<br />

shoot!<br />

Getting to meet and work<br />

with Dara and James was<br />

absolutely incredible! I feel<br />

like I learned so much in our<br />

shoot! When I first heard that<br />

Dara (an international model)<br />

was going to be on set to<br />

work with me, I was both<br />

thrilled and terrified! Then<br />

I met Dara and the terror<br />

turned into absolute delight!<br />

The tips and guidance<br />

that Dara gave me were so<br />

helpful! How generous of her<br />

to share her expertise with<br />

me!<br />

And James had such a great<br />

vision! He was so easy to<br />

work with! His personality<br />

made me feel so at ease! And<br />

when I saw the shots he took,<br />

they honestly took my breath<br />

away! What an amazingly<br />

talented photographer. To<br />

be a part of the Teen Look<br />

team has been an absolute<br />

honour and privilege! The 8<br />

hours that we spent lovingly<br />

creating this cover were<br />

easily some of the greatest<br />

moments of my life this far!<br />

Now, I hope to take the<br />

things that I have learned,<br />

and continue to pursue my<br />

modeling goals. I would love<br />

to continue doing print work<br />

and runway work. I dream of<br />

someday following in Dara’s<br />

footsteps, and bringing a<br />

little Alberta girl onto the<br />

international runway!<br />

Cross your fingers for me!

I have been pretty busy the last few months.<br />

My family took a trip Puerto Vallarta, Mexico<br />

in January. We enjoyed playing beach<br />

volleyball on the beach, the pools, shopping<br />

in the markets, nightly walks on the malecon<br />

and trying new restaurants each night.<br />

We went on a few amazing excursions<br />

where we got to explore new parts of Mexico<br />

that we have never seen before. It was a<br />

very special experience and it helped me to<br />

appreciate everything that I have in my life!<br />

I am planning to attend Faces West<br />

International <strong>2020</strong> in Vancouver this Fall,<br />

so I am definitely looking forward to that<br />

opportunity and working on improving my<br />

portfolio this year!<br />

I have been very busy with my club volleyball<br />

team and completing my grade 10 year in<br />

high school.<br />

I am also looking forward to getting my<br />

JONATHAN ROUTE photography<br />

I<br />

have always had an interest in<br />

photography, mostly wildlife<br />

and nature, though.<br />

About eight years ago, I had a little<br />

episode with high blood pressure<br />

and a night filled with stroke<br />

symptoms. My Doctor showed some<br />

concern and knowing my typical<br />

male attitude toward health issues,<br />

I knew that I would not follow my<br />

regimen of blood pressure meds. So<br />

he suggested that I either find a less<br />

stressful job or that I find a hobby<br />

that I can relax doing.<br />

Shortly after that, my brother<br />

mentioned having an old camera<br />

and lens that he was getting rid<br />

of so that he could upgrade his<br />

equipment. Not needing any fancy<br />

equipment to just play around as a<br />

hobby, I gladly accepted the camera<br />

from him and started spending time<br />

Jonathan is a regular<br />

contributor and talented<br />

photographer who we are<br />

proud to feature in this<br />

month’s spotlight.<br />

He has a studio based in<br />

Shirley, MA, USA.<br />

Jonathan Route<br />

in the woods taking photos. It quickly<br />

blossomed into more of a passion<br />

than a pastime, and I found myself<br />

upgrading my equipment. People<br />

began asking me to take photos for<br />

them and it just kind of snowballed<br />

from there. I currently use all Nikon<br />

and Sigma equipment. For no other<br />

real reason than the fact that the first<br />

camera given to me was a Nikon and<br />

after buying lenses and equipment to<br />

go with it, it would be too expensive<br />

to switch now. I would love to get into<br />

medium format cameras and would<br />

someday like to be able to afford a<br />

nice Hasselblad setup. But for now,<br />

the Nikon D810 and my old reliable<br />

Nikon D7000 will do.<br />

I’m not sure I really had influences.<br />

Like everyone who has ever thought<br />

of taking up photography either as<br />

r<br />

fine portraiture<br />

a hobby or a profession, I love the works of<br />

Ansel Adams. Seeing some of the amazing<br />

portraits of People like Jimmy Nelson and<br />

Rehahn, definitely inspire me to do creative<br />

and artistic work without trying to become<br />

a digital artist. Capturing the art with the<br />

camera and not with the computer software<br />

in post.<br />

Mario Testino has captured some of the<br />

greatest unedited candid shots of celebrities<br />

that I have ever seen, and I would certainly<br />

say that his work is an inspiration. But I<br />

would say that my only true inspiration came<br />

from watching the amazing artistic talents<br />

of my mother growing up. She never did<br />

photography, but her paintings and other<br />

works always left me in awe as a child, and<br />

they still, to this day, inspire me to try to be an<br />

artist with what I do.

The<br />

Soda Girls<br />

Series<br />

The soda girls series, albeit quite<br />

parochial, is my fun attempt<br />

at doing some fine art. It isn’t<br />

Whistler’s Mother or the Mona<br />

Lisa, but it is a fun and creative<br />

idea that has beauty and meaning<br />

to me as the artist. So is it fine art?<br />

I like to think so.<br />

The Soda girls shoots are certainly<br />

nothing original. There indeed<br />

are very few, if any, original ideas<br />

left out there. I am certain this<br />

concept has been done dozens of<br />

times, but I think that I did a good<br />

job of putting my own spin on the<br />

concept.<br />

It started as just one shoot where I<br />

asked my hair and makeup artist,<br />

Misty Lockheart, to use cans as<br />

rollers like the women used to do<br />

when I was a kid. We had so much<br />

fun doing it that I decided to go<br />

ahead and create an entire series<br />

with girls that I had worked with<br />

previously.


Fine art, in the true definition, is very<br />

important to me as a photographer. The<br />

term has been diluted horribly by the<br />

novice and facebook photographers who<br />

feel that fine art means naked women.<br />

Fine art can be defined as a visual art<br />

considered to have been created primarily<br />

for aesthetic purposes and judged for its<br />

beauty and meaningfulness, specifically,<br />

painting, sculpture, drawing, watercolour,<br />

graphics, and architecture. Unfortunately,<br />

in the photography world, fine art<br />

has been forced into a new and wildly<br />

unethical direction. I think that creating<br />

something before the photo is even taken<br />

is fine art.<br />

what does<br />

Fine Art<br />

mean to me?<br />

My future in photojournalism? That is a<br />

loaded question. With a little over six years<br />

left until I can retire from my dreaded<br />

day job and tackle this full time, I am not<br />

sure. I honestly would love to be travelling<br />

the country and the world shooting with<br />

other amazingly talented artists and<br />

creating some really eye-catching and<br />

lasting works of art. I think it would be<br />

pretty groovy to be the photographer to<br />

the stars and work with major magazines<br />

and news outlets.<br />

Hello readers. I would like to<br />

introduce you to Caroline!<br />

I have to admit, I have her<br />

latest track, ‘Already there’<br />

on my daily playlist. Once<br />

you hear it and get to know<br />

more about this talented teen<br />

singer, you will be an instant<br />

fan too. Here is her story.<br />

words and photos courtesy of<br />

Caroline’s Music Management.<br />

66<br />

Rising pop singer CAROLINE<br />

has unveiled her eagerly<br />

awaited new single “Already<br />

There” – available today via<br />

all digital music retailers and<br />

streaming services.<br />

Produced and written by<br />

Space Primates (David<br />

Guetta, Ciara, Flo Rida) with<br />

co-writers Allie Kaplan (BTS,<br />

David Guetta) and Grammy<br />

award-winning David Brook<br />

(Stevie Wonder, Eminem,<br />

Keith Urban, Charlie Puth, One<br />

Republic), “Already There” is a<br />

dancefloor-ready pop anthem<br />

complete with a must-hear<br />

drop and powerful vocals from<br />

young starlet CAROLINE. The<br />

new single is perfect for Valentine’s<br />

Day, but it’s not any<br />

old love song, it’s a confident<br />

and contemporary song about<br />

love in <strong>2020</strong> with a female in<br />

the power position. The song<br />

continues CAROLINE’s streak<br />

of breaking society standards<br />

in a positive and progressive<br />

way.<br />

“Already There” follows<br />

CAROLINE’s recently<br />

released empowering<br />

electro-pop single, “I Know<br />

Better,” available now at<br />

all DSPs and streaming<br />

services. “I Know Better”<br />

– produced by Dan Book<br />

(Britney Spears, Shania<br />

Twain, Selena Gomez,<br />

Demi Lovato, and Miley<br />

Cyrus) – was an instant fan<br />

favourite racking over 2.4<br />

million streams in under<br />

two months. The song was<br />

also immediately placed on<br />

major independent playlists,<br />

including Wish 107.5<br />

Wishbus Exclusive and<br />

Updated, Deep Chill House,<br />

and Uber Hits. The track<br />

was joined by a colorful<br />

teenlook | march


<strong>teenLook</strong><br />

march - <strong>2020</strong>


teen look<br />

and quirky video series, streaming<br />

now at her official Youtube<br />

channel. “I Know Better” instantly<br />

established CAROLINE as a force<br />

to watch out for in the mainstream<br />

pop world with World Model Hunt<br />

writing “@carolines_music is an<br />

upcoming pop singer and the new<br />

sensation in the music industry.<br />

With her latest single ‘I Know Better,’<br />

she has reached about 2 million<br />

hearts in one go.” The disco-inspired<br />

single premiered via Teen<br />

Music Insider. The song was also a<br />

radio hit picked up by over 60 radio<br />

stations such<br />

as STOREVER<br />

(in-store digital<br />

media solutions<br />

in 14,000 stores<br />

of 170 brands in<br />

60 countries),<br />

Xenox (50,000<br />

+ Media Outlets<br />

in 20 countries),<br />

ScratchRadio<br />

(NetRadio), In<br />

The Mix (Syndicated<br />

Radio<br />

Show), MoodMedia (World’s leading<br />

in-store media specialist - 41<br />

countries + 580,000 commercial<br />

locations), and Timbre Media ( 200+<br />

stations covering Corporate, Retail,<br />

App-based music). “CAROLINE<br />

is a breath of fresh air in the pop<br />

sky,” raved iRabo. Chic Radio Hits<br />

writes, “good sound, good melody.”<br />

Her single was highly anticipated<br />

thanks to her viral cover of “Wrecking<br />

Ball” by Miley Cyrus, receiving<br />

more than 30 million views, and<br />

Meghan Trainer even liked one of<br />

her covers.<br />

Not only is CAROLINE a singer<br />

and songwriter, but she is also<br />

a natural-born performer and<br />

dancer. She blows crowds away at<br />

world-renowned venues such as<br />

“The Canyon Club” and “The Mint”<br />

with high-energy performances.<br />

She’s also always sporting the colour<br />

pink, glitter, and her signature<br />

headband on-stage, which acts as<br />

an “invisible crown” to help Caroline<br />

be CAROLINE!<br />

CAROLINE has a literal army that<br />

supports her. The “CAROLINE<br />

Army” is made up of “fans” who<br />

are also CAROLINE’s best friends!<br />

They share everyday struggles of<br />

being teenagers and have mutual<br />

respect, love,<br />

and support for<br />

one another. Her<br />

connection has<br />

caused CARO-<br />

LINE to become<br />

extremely passionate<br />

about<br />

teen suicide after<br />

seeing many of<br />

her BFFs struggle<br />

with deep depression.<br />

CAROLINE is<br />

working hard to<br />

spread awareness of this problem<br />

that often goes unnoticed.<br />

Due to overwhelming support,<br />

CAROLINE has been able to dip her<br />

toes in lots of different areas that all<br />

support and circle back to the most<br />

important thing, the music. This<br />

month, CAROLINE took on a new<br />

role as editor-in-chief of “CAROLINE<br />

Magazine,” which is a new inclusive<br />

magazine all about music, fashion,<br />

CAROLINE’s career, supporting<br />

others following their passions,<br />

and trying to change the world in<br />

a positive way. CAROLINE breaks<br />

down her music, how she writes<br />

songs, the music that inspires her,<br />

and interviews all types of talent<br />

from reality star “Renee Graziano”


to EDM blog “Rave Girls,” to fashion<br />

designer and winner of project<br />

runway “Ashley Nell Tipton.”<br />

CAROLINE is also the founder<br />

of her global fashion brand “The<br />

CAROLINE Collection,” which is<br />

all about making everyday necessities,<br />

glitterful and exciting! The<br />

brand also includes lots of items<br />

suitable for athletes to prove you<br />

can be glitterful and strong. She’s<br />

also written a book that came out<br />

in December 2019 called “CARO-<br />

LINE’s Life Lessons,” which provides<br />

the wisdom that CAROLINE<br />

lives her life by.<br />

CAROLINE is creating relatable<br />

pop anthems with purpose. She<br />

has an image that the average<br />

teen can see in themselves because<br />

she is the average teen. She<br />

inspires young girls to be confident<br />

and not care what others think.<br />

CAROLINE is a girl of strong faith<br />

and is a kind-hearted wholesome<br />

role model who does the right<br />

thing. But, she is not submissive;<br />

she is a strong and powerful woman.<br />

Press outlets such as NALUDA<br />

Magazine, La Belle Magazine, Good<br />

Morning La La Land, Girl Gang,<br />

Skope Magazine, Open Mic Podcast,<br />

Fresh Kid Nation, and All Eyes<br />

Magazine have been jumping at<br />

the chance to interview CAROLINE<br />

due to her fascinating story.<br />

It’s just the beginning for young<br />

starlet CAROLINE, and we look<br />

forward to seeing what the future<br />

holds!<br />

GRE TA T HUNBERG<br />

A teen making an impact in our world<br />

There are many mixed feelings about global warming and Greta.<br />

She’s a brave teen standing up for what she believes in.<br />

That’s the focus of this article. You decide what you think is right and what<br />

you can do to make our world a better place too.<br />

In 1978 Leonard Nimoy<br />

hosted a documentary<br />

that detailed the climate<br />

shift and the effects of<br />

global cooling.<br />

Now 42 years later the<br />

story has changed...<br />

Focus on climate change is nothing new. In<br />

fact, scientists and governments have been<br />

monitoring the changing weather systems<br />

for centuries. Scientific expeditions to the<br />

Antarctic and Greenland have drawn ice core<br />

samples, revealing many secrets of Earth’s past.<br />

Studies have shown extreme changes in the<br />

Earth’s weather patterns from global warming<br />

to global cooling trends.<br />

In 1978, Lenoard Nimoy, Dr. Spock of Star Trek<br />

fame, hosted a documentary that shed light<br />

on the possible coming ice age. Yes, that is<br />

right, as a planet, we were heading towards<br />

the next ice age! Now. Forty two years later, the<br />

focus is not on the impending global cooling<br />

scare; rather, we are experiencing the effects<br />

of global warming. How things can change<br />

so dramatically in such a short time. It is as if<br />

there is an outside force at work on the weather<br />

systems. Have you ever heard of HAARP? (High-<br />

Frequency Active Auroral Research Program)<br />

79<br />

Greta’s initial ‘School<br />

Strike for the Climate’<br />

began in 2018 when she<br />

was just 15. She spent part<br />

of her school days outside<br />

the Swedish Parliament<br />

to raise awareness and<br />

calling for more action regarding<br />

climate change.<br />

As quoted by the US Military,<br />

“Weather modification will become a part of domestic and<br />

international security and could be done unilaterally… It<br />

could have offensive and defensive applications and even<br />

be used for deterrence purposes. The ability to generate<br />

precipitation, fog, and storms on Earth or to modify space<br />

weather, … and the production of artificial weather all are a<br />

part of an integrated set of technologies which can provide<br />

substantial increase in US, or degraded capability in an<br />

adversary, to achieve global awareness, reach, and power.”<br />

(US Air Force, emphasis added. Air University of the US Air<br />

Force, AF 2025 Final Report)<br />

That’s a rabbit hole for another discussion, and<br />

should not be taken lightly nonetheless. We just<br />

won’t go down it today.<br />

during a session at the<br />

European Parliament on<br />

April 16, 2019.<br />

80<br />

The other and a probably<br />

more accepted argument for<br />

the change is our constant<br />

and increased dependence<br />

of fossil fuels as an energy<br />

source. We cannot survive<br />

without a source of energy,<br />

that is a fact. The whole<br />

movement to address the<br />

global warming crisis we are<br />

facing is directed at curbing<br />

our use of fossil fuels and<br />

finding alternative sources<br />

of energy. Again, this is not a<br />

new concept and has been a<br />

debated and critical issue for<br />

decades. So, is there anything<br />

wrong with addressing the<br />

climate change crisis? Of<br />

course not. It’s something<br />

that people have been doing<br />

for decades and will continue<br />

to do in the years to come.<br />

Let’s take a look at what<br />

Greta Thunberg is debating.<br />

She is a 17-year old teen<br />

environmental activist<br />

from Sweden who started<br />

a campaign bringing the<br />

dilemma of global warming<br />

international recognition —<br />

and was instantly praised<br />

for her courage and passion.<br />

Even I have to admit that<br />

when I heard her speaking<br />

at the 2018 United Nations<br />

Climate Change Conference,<br />

I was moved. Her passion was<br />

mesmerizing. But was what<br />

she was saying anything<br />

new? Not entirely. Even still, it<br />

brought an awakening to the<br />

global community to start<br />

being serious about a change<br />

and pressing for more action.<br />

The words of wisdom coming<br />

from this young lady were<br />

profound. As most teens<br />

are aware, many grownups<br />

don’t like taking advice<br />

from a child. This is evident<br />

with the divide of positive<br />

and negative supporters of<br />

the Greta movement. The<br />

Russian Pundits seemed to<br />

deem her insight and words,<br />

that merely of a child, and<br />

not very well informed. Even<br />

President Donald Trump<br />

snubbed her as childlike<br />

and mocked her speech.<br />

While some can agree that<br />

her address may have been<br />

overly dramatic and slightly<br />

exaggerated, I hope we still<br />

can admire her courage and<br />

tenacity at the moment.<br />

Could we honestly say that<br />

we would have the same<br />

courage to get up and deliver<br />

a speech like that? She had<br />

the attention of the whole<br />

world, and we were eager to<br />

see what would develop next.<br />

Greta went on through 2018-<br />

2019 to be acknowledged<br />

and to win numerous awards<br />

for her work. Being named<br />

Time’s top 25 influential<br />

teenagers in 2018 and then in<br />

2019 as the top 100 influential<br />

people and going on to be<br />

teenlook | march


featured on the cover of<br />

the December issue as<br />

Time Magazine’s Person<br />

of the Year. She was also<br />

nominated twice for the<br />

Nobel Peace Prize, once<br />

in 2019 and then again in<br />

<strong>2020</strong>.<br />

Along with these<br />

accolades, Greta attained<br />

over a dozen more awards<br />

and recognitions for her<br />

activism work. It goes<br />

without saying that this<br />

inspiring teen is making<br />

an impact!<br />

Unfortunately, along<br />

with the recognition for<br />

her well-doing, there is<br />

also a negative attack<br />

from various reporters.<br />

Some journalists feel<br />

that because they hide<br />

behind a camera and<br />

bare the right to free<br />

speech, they have the<br />

unequivocal right to bully<br />

and intimidate to make a<br />

point.<br />

Derek Zoolander said it best:<br />

“Do you understand that the<br />

world does not revolve around<br />

you and your do whatever it<br />

takes, ruin as many people’s<br />

lives, so long as you can make<br />

a name for yourself as an<br />

investigatory journalist, no<br />

matter how many friends you<br />

lose or people you leave dead<br />

and bloodied along the way, just<br />

so long so you can make a name<br />

for yourself as an investigatory<br />

journalist, no matter how many<br />

friends you lose or people you<br />

leave dead and bloodied and<br />

dying along the way?”<br />

In all seriousness, though,<br />

the fact of the matter<br />

remains. I don’t think<br />

anyone has the right to<br />

bully or intimidate a 16<br />

year-old girl for making a<br />

statement and leading a<br />

cause to help better the<br />

world we live in. Sure, I<br />

understand that there are<br />

most likely people behind<br />

her with an agenda and<br />

are coaching her. But is<br />

it wrong to have a team<br />

delegated to creating<br />

the best ideas to be<br />

presented? The Prime<br />

Minister or President of<br />

a country does not work<br />

alone. They have a staff<br />

of administrators and<br />

advisors, helping them to<br />

make the best decisions<br />

and actions. So why<br />

should it be any different<br />

in Greta’s situation to<br />

have help? She has openly<br />

admitted her mental<br />

handicaps, namely,<br />

Asperger’s syndrome<br />

and OCD (Obsessive<br />

Compulsive Disorder),<br />

reinforcing the need for<br />

assistance.<br />

I think any youth set<br />

upon reaching the world<br />

should have all the<br />

necessary support<br />

to achieve that<br />

goal and should<br />

not be faulted<br />

for it. Of course,<br />

financial assistance<br />

is required to help<br />

fund a worldwide<br />

tour as grand<br />

as the one she<br />

has undertaken.<br />

People looking to<br />

undermine her<br />

cause seek to find<br />

the hidden agenda<br />

of her supporters<br />

and use these<br />

excuses to make the<br />

point that Greta is<br />

not genuine in her<br />

cause.<br />

The fact that remains<br />

is the need to keep our<br />

focus on our world and<br />

how we can all work<br />

together to keep it healthy<br />

for the generations to<br />

come.<br />

Is Greta an inspiration to<br />

you? She is to me.<br />

Her belief in a cause and<br />

raising her voice to be<br />

heard regardless of the<br />

backlash is commendable<br />

and a lesson many of us<br />

can take to heart.<br />

It doesn’t matter who you<br />

are, where you are from,<br />

or what you did... Oh wait,<br />

I’m quoting a Backstreet<br />

got questions?<br />

sophia can help!<br />

SOPHIA’S CORNER - advice & help<br />

sophia lia<br />

Hi Sophia! I was wondering what your best advice<br />

for getting into modeling would be? I live<br />

in Illinois and here there isn’t much opportunity.<br />

I really love fashion and ever since I was little<br />

I wanted to try modeling. -Taylor<br />

Hi Taylor! Thanks for reaching out. I know<br />

sometimes it can be tricky to learn the ropes<br />

of the modeling industry, and how you can<br />

start. The most important thing to keep in<br />

mind before you start applying to agencies is<br />

that it is not ever a piece of cake to get into<br />

the entertainment industry- lots of patience,<br />

persistence and practice is needed to do it,<br />

but if you are willing to put in the work, I<br />

know you’ll do amazing!<br />

The first step is sending some applications<br />

to local agencies. Search the web for agencies<br />

near your town/city, and once you come<br />

across one you are interested in, navigate the<br />

site to find applications. Once you send in<br />

your photos and basic information, just give<br />

it time before you hear back. From there, it’s<br />

very important to start practicing, attend<br />

shoots, and market yourself on Instagram.<br />

Once you have an agent, they should help<br />

guide you as well.<br />

Although an agent is helpful, you cannot<br />

only rely on your agent to find you work. It’s<br />

very important to put yourself out there, to<br />

do photoshoots as much as possible, and<br />

constantly be submitting to magazines. If<br />

you can’t afford doing several shoots, that’s<br />

okay- there are ways around it such as doing<br />

tfp work, or even asking family/friends to<br />

practice with you. After you receive photos<br />

from shoots, you’ll want to take the best ones<br />

and submit them for consideration in magazines.<br />

Good luck and I wish you the best with<br />

modeling!<br />

Xo Sophia Lia<br />

Hey. I was wondering what your thoughts are<br />

for dealing with bullying? I have been having<br />

a bit of a hard time at school, and I really look<br />

up to you so was wondering if you could help?<br />

-Anonymous<br />

Hi there. Dealing with bullying can for sure<br />

cause feelings we don’t particularly want to<br />

feel, and you can take my word because I’ve<br />

been bullied before too. It’s tough, and it’s<br />

something that takes courage to overcome.<br />

If you are going through bullying, it’s really<br />

important to know that you are not alone,<br />

and there are several people that can help<br />

you. Just to name a few, consider talking to a<br />

parent, a close friend, teacher, coach, or even<br />

myself. You can always reach out to the kids<br />

help phone line anytime you need some support!<br />

After you find the courage to reach out<br />

to someone for help, I can promise they will<br />

do everything they can to help you.<br />

I want to thank you for your bravery and<br />

courage for reaching out to me. If you need<br />

anymore help or have any questions, please<br />

let me know.<br />

Xx Sophia Lia<br />

Hi!! Random, but I was wondering if you had<br />

any cool recipes you could share? By the way I<br />

really like your photos! -Sarah<br />

Hey Sarah, yes of course! I would be happy<br />

to share one of my favourite recipes with you<br />

(bonus that it’s pretty healthy)! I will send the<br />

recipe your way as well as include it below.<br />

Also, thank you so much for the kind words!<br />

Oats & Apple Muffins<br />

Ingredients:<br />

3 cups oats<br />

1 ½ tsp. baking powder<br />

2 tsp. cinnamon<br />

1 cup almond milk<br />

1 cup unsweetened apple sauce<br />

2 eggs<br />

¼ cup honey or maple syrup<br />

2 finely diced apples<br />

Combine all ingredients and bake in parchment<br />

lining papers at 375 degrees F for 20-22<br />

minutes. Enjoy!<br />

x Sophia


Hey Sophia Lia! First I want to say that I really<br />

love all your writing pieces. You are super<br />

inspiring to me and my sister. I am a budding<br />

writer from India, and was wondering if you<br />

have any tips on creating writing content and<br />

getting my work published? -Ananya<br />

Hey Ananya! Thanks for your question. I totally<br />

understand your challenge and I’m excited to<br />

give you some guidance. The best way to get<br />

your work out there, is honestly by putting<br />

yourself out there. At first, it can be hard to<br />

find magazines or publications with openings,<br />

but if you keep consistent with checking<br />

job postings/openings and other cool opportunities<br />

online, something will soon come<br />

along. Another thing that is important to do<br />

in the meantime is continuing to practice<br />

writing pieces. The more you write, the more<br />

you’ll improve which will gain you valuable<br />

experience that those publications are looking<br />

for.<br />

As for creating content, my best advice would<br />

be to always write when you feel inspired/ get<br />

a new idea. I’m guilty of this, however if you<br />

come up with a good idea or feel in the mood<br />

to write, I would recommend getting that<br />

idea out right away and expressing your piece<br />

based on that. Yes, you could always just write<br />

it down and think on it more later, but trust<br />

me, you will not be able to completely regenerate<br />

your original ideas.<br />

Best of luck with your writing career!<br />

Sophia Lia<br />

Hey Sophia. I am kinda new to the whole<br />

instagram game, and was wondering what<br />

your tips are for growing? You gained a lot of<br />

followers and have made a really big influence<br />

on Instagram so would like some help from<br />

you. -Cassidy<br />

Hi Cassidy! There are for sure a few things<br />

I’ve learned along the way and I would love<br />

to share my ideas with you. Below are a few<br />

growth tips to keep in mind.<br />

Stay active on the platform- keeping up with<br />

updating your instagram with posts & stories<br />

will naturally help you grow. Make sure you<br />

are engaging on alike pages by leaving genuine<br />

likes/comments and supporting others in<br />

your community.<br />

Take advantage of hashtags- Hashtags are an<br />

amazing way to reach new people. As much<br />

as we love having our followers see new updates,<br />

hashtags allow your posts to go beyond<br />

that, and reach more people who might be<br />

interested in your content!<br />

Work on building real relationships with your<br />

followers- this one might be tough, because<br />

after all, communication can be difficult<br />

when it’s not done in person, however being<br />

supportive to those around your community<br />

and supporting one another will also benefit<br />

you in the end. Also, be real. No one wants to<br />

see a ‘perfect’ life in the tiny grids on Instagram-<br />

because truth be told, that’s not reality.<br />

The more real you are with them, the more<br />

real they’ll become with you!<br />

You got this!<br />

many creative outlets, but the ones she found<br />

her passion in are acting, music, writing and<br />

modelling. She spent the summer acting as<br />

‘Hermia’ in the Great Southwest Shakespeare<br />

production of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’<br />

(directed by Gordon McCall)<br />

well.<br />

This talented teen is a part of three choirs,<br />

a published author, an active model and an<br />

aspiring actress! She finds herself being an<br />

activist for social issues and believes that<br />

being involved in the arts is a great way to<br />

shed light on topics that hare difficult to talk<br />

about.<br />

She thanks everyone who has helped her<br />

along the way, including Flair Talent, and is<br />

excited to see where this road takes her and to<br />

explore the opportunities it presents along the<br />

way!

Pereira is located in what is<br />

known as the Golden Triangle and<br />

is located in the Central Cordillera<br />

(mountain range) of Colombia in<br />

the valley of the river Otún and<br />

part of the Cauca river valley.<br />

Marcela and Chris have a<br />

Christmas they went to Pereira,<br />

Colombia to be with family.<br />

While in Pereira, they were visiting<br />

a friend and were introduced to<br />

the friend’s neighbours, Karen and<br />

Mariana.<br />

Marcela and Chris thought they<br />

would be a good fit for Teen Look<br />

so they organized this photoshoot.<br />

Karen Marin & Mariana Lince<br />

Through the lens of Banff Image Photography<br />

Karen Marin and Mariana Lince have<br />

been close friends since they were<br />

children. They live in Pereira, a city<br />

surrounded by stunning mountains,<br />

situated in the heart of the coffee<br />

triangle in western Colombia. Their<br />

neighbourhood, Kennedy, is named<br />

after the former U.S. president. It is on<br />

the edge of the city surrounded by<br />

the Andes.<br />

Mariana and Karen love living in the<br />

Kennedy neighbourhood.<br />

“We all know each other so it feels<br />

safe and we go to the same school as<br />

our parents did. Some of our teachers<br />

taught our parents.”<br />
